Lord open our mouths so we might praise you. Show us your blinding light that we may know your power.

Amazing mind-blowing God. In your tenderness your mighty revolution is coming, the revolution that will chase fear and injustice back to Hell. As we live for you open our eyes to see you in the unexpected, strengthen our hands and our hearts to follow you, that all will see how amazing you really are. Our God Father, Son and Life giving spirit. Amen

Psalm 24

1 The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;
2 for he founded it on the seas
and established it on the waters.

3 Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD?
Who may stand in his holy place?
4 Those who have clean hands and a pure heart,
who do not put their trust in an idol
or swear by a false god.

5 They will receive blessing from the LORD
and vindication from God their Saviour.
6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,
who seek your face, God of Jacob.

7 Lift up your heads, you gates;
be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
8 Who is this King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
the LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, you gates;
lift them up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
10 Who is he, this King of glory?
The LORD Almighty—
he is the King of glory

We’ve made it through the night and another day is ahead, let us approach our God together.

Thank you for today, may your blinding light set us on fire starting with our hearts, that we might know your love and others may experience it though us. Amen

Energise the limp hands, strengthen the rubbery knees.
Tell fearful souls, "Courage! Take heart!
God is here, right here, on his way to put things right
And redress all wrongs.
He's on his way! He'll save you!"Blind eyes will be opened, deaf ears unstopped,

Lame men and women will leap like deer, the voiceless break into song.

Springs of water will burst out in the wilderness, streams flow in the desert.

Hot sands will become a cool oasis, thirsty ground a splashing fountain.

Even lowly jackals will have water to drink, and barren grasslands flourish richly.God’s children will make their way home to Zion, unfading halos of joy encircling their heads,

Welcomed home with gifts of joy and gladness as all sorrows and sighs scurry into the night.

After Jesus returned, he walked along Lake Galilee and then climbed a mountain and took his place, ready to receive visitors. They came, tons of them, bringing along the paraplegic, the blind, the maimed, the mute—all sorts of people in need—and more or less threw them down at Jesus' feet to see what he would do with them. He healed them. When the people saw the mutes speaking, the maimed healthy, the paraplegics walking around, the blind looking around, they were astonished and let everyone know that God was blazingly alive among them.

But Jesus wasn't finished with them. He called his disciples and said, "I hurt for these people. For three days now they've been with me, and now they have nothing to eat. I can't send them away without a meal—they'd probably collapse on the road."

His disciples said, "But where in this deserted place are you going to dig up enough food for a meal?"

Jesus asked, "How much bread do you have?"

"Seven loaves," they said, "plus a few fish." At that, Jesus directed the people to sit down. He took the seven loaves and the fish. After giving thanks, he divided it up and gave it to the people. Everyone ate. They had all they wanted. It took seven large baskets to collect the leftovers. Over four thousand people ate their fill at that meal. After Jesus sent them away, he climbed in the boat and crossed over to the Magadan hills.

Master join us with your power. Fill us so that the Old School ways are replaced by your revolution. Help us with the speed of lightning Let your thunder shake us to the core so we may become who you made us to be. Amen

We offer our prayers for:

The day, its tasks and opportunities

The world and its needs

The mission of God

Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come,

your will be done,

on earth as in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins

as we forgive those who sin against us.

Lead us not into temptation

but deliver us from evil.

For the kingdom, the power,

and the glory are yours

Make us ready for the revolution.

Our God is Great

Amen
